How do trans fats influence Type 2 diabetes?

In addition to controlling our intake of carbohydrates, people who are at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes must also keep watch on their intake, by eating the right quantities of the right type of fat.

While some amount of the right kind of fat is necessary for healthy people, trans fats are quite avoidable because of the health complications that they can give rise to. But more specifically, trans fats are an absolute No! No! for people who have a predisposition to diabetes.

What are trans fats?

Trans fats are a kind of dietary fat that is recognized as being very detrimental to good health. In fact, of all the different kinds of fats – Unsaturated fats, Saturated fats, and Trans fats, Trans fats are considered to be the worst.

This is because excessive amounts of trans fats in our diet increase our risk of cardiac diseases, Type 2 diabetes, and other health problems.

How are Trans fats formed?

Trans fatty acids are formed when liquid oil is converted into solid fat such as shortening or margarine through industrial partial hydrogenation - a process that is widely used to produce solid fats. Hydrogenation includes heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst.

Diabetes reversal program

At Freedom from Diabetes, we recommend keeping the intake of trans fats, particularly the manufactured variety found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, as low as possible. In brief, our programs advocate eating the right types of food to reduce our risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancers, and other health conditions.
